Ever since the announcement of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, fans have been buzzing with anticipation and curiosity about the game's premise. The idea of killing off the iconic Justice League members, including Batman, seemed like a drastic move by Rocksteady, the game's developers. However, as the game unfolds, there are hints that suggest a different outcome – one that involves saving or reuniting the Justice League rather than permanently eliminating them.
Without delving into datamined information, which often reveals spoilers, let's examine the clues within the game itself. One prevailing theory is that the Justice League members you encounter and defeat are actually clones, not the originals. The suggestion is that the real Justice League is being held captive by the villainous Braniac, either on his ship or in another undisclosed location.
This concept presents a solution to the conundrum of 'accidentally' wiping out the whole Arkhamverse Justice League. Rather than resorting to time travel or alternate universes, the game could take the route of having the Suicide Squad learn the truth and embark on a mission to rescue the real Justice League. This storyline would not only rectify the issue of killing beloved characters but also add a captivating twist to the narrative.
Another potential option is that alternate universe versions of the JLA members could be brought in from Elseworlds, providing an opportunity to reassemble the team. However, the idea of cloning feels more plausible and intriguing, given the context of the game.
The question remains, though, whether there will be enough players who will witness this potential turn of events. The initial premise of killing off the Justice League did not sit well with everyone, and this alternative storyline could offer a solution to address those reservations. However, concerns arise about the timing and availability of the live content. Releasing it a full year after the game's launch might be perceived as too late to retain the attention and engagement of players.
Additionally, the issue arises of how the original Wonder Woman's death at the hands of Superman would be resolved. Perhaps her clay origin, as utilized in the comics, can be used to justify her return. The fact that she crumbles into dust upon defeat suggests that there may be a way for her to come back, without leaving behind DNA for Braniac to clone her from her deceased body.
Regardless of the exact details, it is evident that some form of saving or reuniting the Justice League is in the pipeline. Only time will tell how it will play out and whether it will satisfy the player base. However, it might be worth contemplating whether dividing the storyline into a year-long live content release was the best approach.
